Author's Blog : https://nolanlawson.com/2018/04/09/introducing-pinafore-for-mastodon/

* Suggestions, comments, requests? @pinafore@mastodon.technology

And it Supports Pleroma Nodes as well!!

Thanks Nolan, great work! 🙂

* You CAN run more than one instance of Pinafore. Not by opening another tab into the same website :

the default is https://pinafore.social

* BUT -- if you know of another site hosting a copy of Pinafore, you CAN open that one. It will be a new account, it doesn't know of any of your already stored credentials or preferences.

* but now you can keep them running with one instance in one tab, a diff one on another tab.

Some users in #Fediverse already know about how good and fast the Pinafore client is.

A web hosted, static site -- you load the site and login, it authorizes with your instance, which requests your permission.

Besides being Light and Fast, Pinafore is smooth running, has a lot of colour options, supports Multiple Instances with easy switching between one and the next. Couple clicks, you are into the other account, using it's colours, etc.

Better than one Pinafore ? Just two maybe?

Really nice article on Hack-a-Day for anyone interested in Cold War era History, Tech and Submarines in particular.

A really well made page that introduces and explains the Pleroma site's Front End to new users.

Pleroma can also be used with a Mastodon Front End, or FE for short, easier for users who are already in mastodon instances.

I like the project a lot -- many nice ideas and fresh air, they are pushing the envelope while in many places, getting a Maximum Toot Size larger than 500 characters is already an unacceptable request (been there, tried that, denied. Twice.)

** For those of us who like to read and learn, the official Pleroma documentation is located at :

"BeOS: The Alternate Universe’s Mac OS X"

A nice article by Erin Pinheiro just posted on Hackaday.com. Recommended reading for anyone interested in UI and system design, Op Systems, evolution of comp tech.

https://hackaday.com/2020/01/09/beos-the-alternate-universes-mac-os-x/

"Meet The BeOS
Could you imagine emailing someone a video file in 1995? Be Inc. did.

BeOS was, at the time, a foray into a new way of doing home computing. The features it introduced that were brand new at the time are now ubiquitous — things such as preemptive multitasking, journaling filesystems and an uncluttered desktop design.

In a way, it was forward-thinking enough that if you look at a screenshot of it today you’d swear it was just any other modern Linux environment, ’90s graphical aesthetic aside. "

You like emojis?

Like, REALLY like them? How about 7,315 of them? All in one instance, no kidding.

See them, get them, download the whole set at : https://fedimojis.feuerfuchs.dev/fedi.absturztau.be

Find a place to host your files, videos, mastodon or other social media instance? Yesterday I discovered this one, which is similar to the French Chatons -- https://chatons.org/en

"librehosters is a network of cooperation and solidarity that uses free software to encourage decentralisation through federation and distributed platforms. Our values connect transparency, fairness and privacy with a culture of data portability and public contributions to the commons. "

A Guide to Fediverse Drama, seems a nice thing to have.

Just getting started and the Drama, yeah. LOL...

Posts are dated from 2017, but I have been reading some good materials from the same vintage and many things are still current.
